The many faces of lymphocytoma cutis

“…In the literature one may find a large number of confusing names for these conditions, such as sarcoidosis of Spiegler and Fend, lymphocytoma benigna cutis and cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia (Table 1). [1][2][3][4][5][6] As these pseudolymphomas may mimic cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) or cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCL), we prefer to use the designation cutaneous pseudolymphoma for the whole group instead of the term lymphocytoma cutis. Using the term pseudolymphoma one is always alert to differentiate these conditions from malignant cutaneous lymphomas.…”
